Chapter 143 Zhantian Conference
The location of the Duke of Yiguo's Mansion is more luxurious than that of the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion, and it is also closer to the dragon throne not far away.
The key is that the seat is spacious enough, so Yi Qianhuan doesn't need to squeeze with others. She can enjoy the delicious food on the table by herself and feel very comfortable.
"I can sit where I want to sit. What's it got to do with you?" Yi Qianhuan didn't even bother to explain to Helian Xiujin. He just lazily gave Helian Xiujin a warning look.
She hates it most when someone makes noise in front of her.
If Helian Xiu Jin continued to chatter, she wouldn't mind teaching this blind man a lesson in public.
Helian Xiujin was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
Yi Qianhuan's action was equivalent to putting her face on the ground and trampling on it!
Seeing that everyone around him seemed to be enjoying the show, Helian Xiu Jin was unwilling to give up.
But deep down, he didn't dare to continue to provoke Yi Qianhuan.
Seeing that the atmosphere was at a stalemate, Lin Wanyue quickly lowered her voice and whispered in Helian Xiujin's ear: "Your Highness, there is no need to listen to Yi Qianhuan's rant. Ziyu promised me that today she would shine, and by then, you and I, as Ziyu's parents, will naturally be in high spirits. I guarantee that Yi Qianhuan will regret it!"
After hearing this, Helian Xiujin's originally irritable mood finally eased, and he obediently followed Lin Wanyue back to his seat in Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
Yi Qianhuan was not bothered by the sight and immediately looked for Yi Mobao among the group of children.
Even among a group of children, Yi Mobao was still very dazzling, and Yi Qianhuan's eyes softened when he glanced at him.
At this time, Yi Mobao also noticed Yi Qianhuan.
The mother and son looked at each other, and Yi Qianhuan immediately waved to Yi Mobao.
As soon as Yi Mobao raised his hand, Helian Ziyu squeezed over and waved to Yi Qianhuan first: "Brother Mo, look, mother is greeting us."
Seeing Helian Ziyu approaching, Yi Mobao felt a strong sense of disgust in his heart.
This feeling is hard to describe in words, it's like he physiologically finds Helian Ziyu disgusting.
However, they are all children of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, so according to the rules, he must stand with Helian Ziyu.
"When can the test start?" Yi Mobao thought that if the test started earlier, he could finish it earlier and keep a distance from Helian Ziyu.
Helian Ziyu pointed to the square in front of them and said, "Brother Mo, do you see the ancient formation on the ground in the square? It is said that this formation contains the souls of all the heroes since the founding of Yunzhao Kingdom. It is only when these souls gather together that we can determine who is the reincarnation of the national god.
This ancient formation is usually sealed and will only be opened when it is extremely necessary. Before the start of the Tianzhan Conference every five years, a person with superb riding and archery skills is needed to use a feather arrow ignited by a spell to activate the formation, and then we can conduct the test. "
"That sounds quite troublesome." Yi Mobao estimated the time and realized that he would have to stand here for at least another hour.
"Yes. And I heard that ordinary people cannot hit the formation. This person not only needs extremely strong martial arts, but also extremely strong destiny and extremely noble identity. Only when a person's own conditions are superior, more heroic spirits will be awakened after igniting the formation, and the test results will be the most accurate."
Helian Ziyu lowered his voice and whispered to Yi Mobao: "I heard before that someone failed to successfully awaken the ancient formation at the Zhantian Conference, and the emperor was furious and directly dragged the person away and chopped him off."
Yi Mobao listened to Helian Ziyu's words, and saw a guard coming to the formation and placing a gold and silver ring on the formation.
The ring looked to be only as thick as a finger. Although it was exquisitely made, it was very small.
"Could it be that the archer is supposed to hit this circle?" Yi Mobao was about twenty to thirty meters away from Shangguan's formation. After a rough estimate, he felt that it would be difficult to hit this small circle if he shot from here.
"Yes. The archer is known as the supervisor. After he activates the formation, he can sense the emotions of the heroes within the formation. He will continue to supervise our tests." Seeing that Yi Mobao was interested, Helian Ziyu pointed to the city wall at least a hundred meters away.
"Brother Mo, if you want to see the supervisor in advance, you can go to the tower. According to the previous rules, the supervisor needs to stand on the tower and shoot arrows."
"It's no wonder I missed the target since the distance is so far." Yi Mobao sighed, wondering in his heart which unlucky guy was chosen to do such a difficult task.
As a result, he saw from afar Shen Yubao wearing a thick cloak and walking up to the city wall surrounded by a group of Jinyiwei.
Yimobao: “???”
After Shen Yubao stood still, he carefully glanced down and soon found Yi Mobao's figure.
After seeing Shen Yubao discover him, he stood on the city wall and waved to him enthusiastically. Yi Mobao clearly felt what it meant to be in disarray.
Just when he was wondering whether Shen Yubao was the unlucky supervisor, Ji Chilian, carrying a bow and arrow, strode up to the city wall.
The moment Ji Chilian appeared, many people in the crowd around him noticed him.
"This year's supervisor is actually Dugong?"
"The Zhantian Conference is not a joke. Even sick children are not allowed to take the test. Why would the emperor let a disabled person like him be the supervisor?"
"Ji Chilian has always been eloquent. I don't know how she managed to please the emperor this time to finally get this opportunity to stand out!"
"Keep your voices down, or the Lord Supervisor might hear what you said and offend him. That would be very troublesome for you!"
"Hmph, Ji Chilian had better not shoot the gold and silver rings, otherwise the emperor will be furious and might even get rid of this dog official!"
Yi Qianhuan listened to the discussions in the crowd and watched quietly.
At this moment, a sharp voice was heard.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, and Empress Dowager have arrived!"
"Prince Regent, Princess Regent, the young prince has arrived—!"
"Princess Lianhe has arrived!"
"The Thirteenth Prince has arrived—"
"The Seventeenth Prince has arrived—"
"..."
The message kept coming, and Yi Qianhuan had been pardoned, so he didn't have to salute like the others. He calmly looked at the dark crowd around him, who suddenly became shorter and were saluting these royal relatives.
According to the rules of the Zhantian Conference, the order of each test is to start with the royal family, followed by the princes and ministers' descendants, and finally the children born in ordinary people's families will be tested.
However, when the reincarnation of the national god does not appear among the sons of ordinary ministers, many people will give up watching.
After all, the reincarnation of the national god is so noble that it is difficult for him to appear among ordinary people.
As Yi Qianhuan was thinking this, he saw Bei Yunting, who was sitting on the dragon throne, waving his hand and asking everyone to stand up.
The crowd, which had been shorter, stood up again, and Bei Yunting smiled and looked at Ji Chilian who was on the city wall.
"I declare the Heavenly Zhan Conference officially open. Supervisors can now shoot arrows to awaken the heroic spirits in the formation."
